Godzilla facepalm time

Because it's worked so well everyplace else, like Venezuela at the moment!

And it just makes sense to hand over absolute power over all economic activity (and thus all activity of any sort, given existing Commerce Clause jurisprudence) to a central government that (regardless of one's opinion of the current administration) has shown itself, over the decades, to be corrupt and incompetent at exercising the powers it already has.

The actual content of the piece, well, it's not clear that the title actually matches the intent of the blather, but I can't discern any comprehension of the real issues involved, nor any underlying moral philosophy.

(OK, there is, sort of, an underlying moral philosophy to this sort of thing. Summed up: A perfect system that fails horribly is preferable to an imperfect one that works pretty well. Or: Don't let the good be the enemy of the perfect.)
